Available Mistral Models

Jan automatically includes Mistral's available models. In case you want to use a specific Mistral model that you cannot find in Jan, follow instructions in Manual Setup to add custom models:

  • See list of available models in Mistral AI Documentation (opens in a new tab).
  • The id property must match the model name in the list. For example, if you want to use Mistral Large, you must set the id property to mistral-large-latest

Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions:

1. API Key Issues

  • Verify your API key is correct and not expired
  • Check if you have billing set up on your Mistral AI account
  • Ensure you have access to the model you're trying to use

2. Connection Problems

  • Check your internet connection
  • Verify Mistral AI's system status
  • Look for error messages in Jan's logs

3. Model Unavailable

  • Confirm your API key has access to the model
  • Check if you're using the correct model ID
  • Verify your Mistral AI account has the necessary permissions
